Only Hope We Find GOD Again Before It Is Too Late

I don't like
getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like
getting pushed around for being Christians.I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed
around, period.I have no idea where the
concept came from, that America
is an explicitly atheist country.I
can't find it in the Constitution and I don’t like it being shoved down my
throat.

Or maybe I can
put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship
celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him?I guess that's a sign that I’m getting old,
too.But there are a lot of us who are
wondering where these celebrities came from and where theAmerica we knew went to.

In light of the
many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different:This is not intended to be a joke; it's not
funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

In light of
recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc.I think it started when Madeleine Murray
O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn’t
want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible
says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as
yourself.And we said OK.

Then Dr.
Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave,
because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their
self-esteem (Dr.Spock's son committed
suicide).We said an expert should know
what he's talking about.And we said
okay.

Now we're asking
ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from
wrong, and why it doesn’t bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and
themselves.

Probably, if we
think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out.I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE
REAP WHAT WE SOW.'

Funny how simple
it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to
hell.Funny how we believe what the newspapers
say, but question what the Bible says.Funny how you can send'jokes'
through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but whenyou start sending messages regarding the
Lord, people thinktwice about
sharing.Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar
and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of
God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?

Funny how we can
be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.
